In the past year, I have started off my mornings with something really special. SILENCE. I wake up, perform my morning ablutions, and sit down on my bed or chair to stare off into space. I wouldn’t call it a meditation, but more like active day-dreaming. I sit and stare off into the white space, or close my eyes, and let my mind wander anywhere and everywhere. It has actually become my favourite time of day. I let my mind…

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about why we should let go and trust the process. As an entrepreneur and a traveller, I have often devised a plan, only to end up going astray. The main lesson I have learned, is that no matter what we do, we have to keep our faith in what we cannot see and trust that we will be ok no matter what happens! Life is a journey, so we better take the ride and…

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about how slowing down will get you ahead, even better than rushing all the time. We all compare ourselves to others at some point. As a result, we feel like we are not doing enough. We get carried away doing activities for the sake of it, rather than focusing on what matters and what is truly important to us. We end up trapped in a cycle of having to rush even more, amplifying and…

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about why reconnection with our authentic self is important. Being yourself seems like a simple statement to follow: wake up and do what you want to do, without fear of judgement. But, in reality, we often tend to restrain or suppress our authentic self in order to fit in, without even realizing it. “Ourself” varies according to the situation: in front of our parents, friends, clients etc. These invented selves are normal, yet they…

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about how digital nomading has completely changed the way I do things. I used to be afraid of a large variety of things, which led me to have a tiny comfort zone with very little space for risks and challenges. However, leaving the 9-5 routine for a more suited location independent lifestyle, has led me to expand my comfort zone to a point where its limits have become blurry. “There are very few things…

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about creative risks and why it’s important to go outside our comfort zone. We all have our personal boundaries, surrounding our routines and what is familiar to us. Why do we get so comfortable with the common? Why are we so afraid of the new and interesting? Making the move to digital nomading has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone. By quitting my job to follow my dreams, I have challenged myself to…

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about my lifestyle and why I moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I was living in Toronto, Canada, for many years. Even though I loved this city, especially during summer time, I was feeling somehow out of place. I was building my own business and wanting to expand, giving it a chance to grow properly and prosperously. Moving to Chiang Mai has been the…

In this episode of the 7 Days Of Learning, I’ll be chatting about another life-changing book for me. I am a true fan of Rolf Potts, as I absolutely love the way he writes, and thinks. This is a simple read on long-term, low budget travel. If you already live a nomadic lifestyle, or if you have always dreamed of exploring the world without a deadline, you will find this book enriching and inspiring. I grew up moving around in…

In the third episode of the 7 Days Of Learning, I’ll be chatting about the book, Get Rich Lucky Bitch, on how to change our money mindset and allow ourselves to become rich. Denise Duffield helps us understand our blocks towards money and to liberate ourselves from them. She writes in a funny manner and provides practical steps that are easy to follow to clear your issues with money. This is an absolute must-read for anyone working towards improving their…
